haha, it's kinda funny. i was in athens GA today, and i heard this noise...the CRUNCH. i ran over my wheel well (black plastic) that somehow came loose. i replaced a dented fender and i'm guessing i missed some screws. hmm? are they REAL important to put on or are they just there to keep the wheel well clean?

 

On most cars, they help to avoid the hing pins in the door from wearing out and rusting

 

if u live here in canada wear i do then yes it keeps salt and stuff away for inside da wells ..

 

they're called dust shields..so my guess is that they do something along those lines..or something....

 

umm when car companies make cars they dont include parts you dont need,

 

TRUE! but, i'm asking in a way as if i can drive around until i have time to get it fixed - if it will be alright...

 

yeah but fix it soon, you dont want all that road grime on the inside of your wheel well

 

yeah, you'll be fine driving without the shield; replace it if you can, but it wont kill you

were you in Athens for graduation today? I was up there last night and this morning for the graduation since my brother just finished up there.

 

well if you have a CAI umm it might be smart not to drive /w out the gaurd b/c you'll get water in it i bet ...plus other random objects may be able to be flung up in it as well.
